The Great Canadian Beaverfest ~ Their First Concert!

The girls and I went to Beaverfest yesterday. Beaverfest was an outdoor three-day concert featuring Canadian talent. You can read more about it here. Sunday was for all ages and we decided to give it a try. There were three artists performing over the course of the afternoon. We saw Keshia Shante, Shawn Desman, and Fefe Dobson.

This was Celeste's and Adrienne's first experience at a modern music concert (we have been to the orchestra before) and they both really enjoyed it. Even though the artists weren't top hits, I think it was perfect for introducing them to live concerts of this kind. The crowd wasn't crazy, there was a lot of space to move around and we were outside. Celeste was able to dance around and even play with the free beach balls they were handing out. We all enjoyed watching the mascot (a beaver of course!) interact with everyone too!

Yoga Bodies: Real People, Real Stories & the Power of Transformation is a collection of stories from yogis of all backgrounds, shapes, sizes, ages, and abilities. These beautiful and inspiring stories have been collected by Lauren Lipton with photographs by Jaimie Baird.

There are 80 stories from yogis. All the stories are from real people, like you and me. This made for a refreshing change from reading stories from, for example, yoga magazines. Some stories explain how the person started their yoga journey, others how yoga has changed their lives, or how they include yoga in their lives.

Each story was very inspiring for me. I found reading them affected me in various ways, sometimes bringing me to tears, other times nodding along because I could relate so well. Some stories, like Jay's, a transplant surgeon gave me insight into a completely different world.

I found myself reading a couple of stories each morning. I also read a few aloud to share with my family. It was a grea…

February was amazing for me because it included a lot of time spent in nature.

I went regularly for a snowshoe hike, a regular walk, or spent extended time outside at least twice times a week. I even snowshoed to work because of a snow storm! I shared some of my snowshoe adventures here and here.

Work was quieter but still very enjoyable. I continually try different teas. I like to prepare them differently too. One tea I recently tried that I found delicious was the organic Blueberry Jam, as a latte made with soy milk.

I also had fun with the special Matcha Launch at work. It was an amazingly warm day and we had fun getting ready with sidewalk chalk, tasting the new Matcha teas, and setting up. I always enjoy explaining teas to people too!

I continued to practice daily yoga in February with Yoga with Adriene and loved every moment of it. I do so much better with life when I take the time to practice daily yoga, spend time in nature, and eat properly. It is pretty simple but when life g…
